Scruggs/NPR hide caption toggle caption Department of Justice and Getty Images/Collage by Danielle A. Scruggs/NPR The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump. Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor. NPR reviewed multiple sets of unique serial numbers appearing before and after the pages in question, stamped onto documents in the Epstein files database, FBI case records, emails and discovery document logs in the latest tranche of documents published at the end of January. NPR’s investigation found dozens of …

Coronation Street legend breaks silence on Ozempic accusations: ‘Each to their own’

Published by Daniella Wilson

A Coronation Street legend took to social media on 3 January 2026 to clear up fan speculation around whether she is on the weight loss medication. Beverley Callard, who made her Coronation Street debut as Liz McDonald in 1989 before leaving the programme in 2020, shared a video on Instagram where she stood in her living room and addressed fans directly.  “No girls, I am not on a skinny jab. Listen, I have worked out my whole life, and I have been working my a**e off, literally. Although, I must say, I would not knock anybody who is on it. Just do what you’ve got to do,” Beverley, who wore a matching gym set, said. © InstagramBeverley has denied being on weight loss medication She followed up the video with a caption, reinforcing her message: “Just addressing some of the comments I’ve been getting recently about my weight… as there have been quite a few! I’ve spent my whole life doing fitness and working my a**e off… literally! Each to their own when it comes …

Europe must reject Trump’s nonsense accusations of ‘civilizational erasure’ – but it urgently needs a strategy of its own

Europe must reject Trump’s nonsense accusations of ‘civilizational erasure’ – but it urgently needs a strategy of its own

Published by Sam Flores

European leaders must agree on how to respond to the accusation that their continent faces “civilizational erasure”. These were the strongest words used in the most strongly-worded national security strategy ever released by a US government, making it clear that allyship is no longer a given. And yet, what exactly does “civilizational erasure” mean? The term seems to come straight out of science fiction and deserves qualification. What kind of civilization is being erased? The document released by the US government explicitly specifies that this is not about economic decline so much as the “values” that make European nations “reliable allies” to the US. The implication is that the current administration is worried that “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” are no longer foundational to Europe as they were to America. In addition, it seems that Trump is worried that migration is the cause of this problem. This is curious. As far as “freedom of speech” and “political liberty” go, even the ranking published annually by the hyper libertarian Washington-based Cato Institute acknowledges that …

Solapur, India Credit: Pradeep717, Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0 With the changing times, believers need to prepare themselves for false accusations. It is becoming a common occurrence in India. Hindu extremists recently assaulted a church pastor in Solapur, Maharashtra, India, Open Doors reports. They entered his church during a service and accused the pastor of forcing the members of his church to drink blood. They were of course having communion at the time. Similar accusations were made against the early church. Christians were accused of cannibalism, because they ate the Lord’s body, during communion. This was quickly refuted by simply showing people that it was bread. The pastor in India did the same thing. But after he showed the extremists that people were drinking grape juice, they then falsely accused him of forcing the women of his church to drink ‘addictive’ wine. The members of the Hindutva nationalists then seized the grape juice and assaulted the pastor. Online things took a bizarre turn. The same pastor was accused of forcing the women of his church to …
